Bond is embarking from the
ferry terminal in Dover, with Calais in France as the likely destination. Since
the hovercraft service was not available to Holland, Bond would have had to
drive up to Amsterdam from northern France. It is probably meant for the
audience to believe that the hovercraft went straight to Amsterdam, but
consequently that route was not available. The hovercraft would either go to
Calais or Boulogne-sur-mer.

The hovercraft in the film belongs to Seaspeed, which was a joint hovercraft operation of British Rail in association with the French SNCF. Seaspeed started cross-channel services in 1968. The hovercraft Bond is traveling on is called Princess Margaret and the model (SR-N4) was the largest hovercraft in commercial operation. This form of transportation was quite new at the time of filming and that is the reason why the cool, dramatic Bond theme was used when the hovercraft leaves port. The fact that this hovercraft service is no longer available makes this scene a nice piece of history, even though the excitement of a hovercraft feels a little dated today. Still, this was the fastest way of crossing the channel and the record of 35 minutes across has yet to be battered. The hovercraft technique was invented in Britain in the 1950's.

Following the opening of the
Channel tunnel (1994), the hovercraft operations were discontinued in 2000. The
service had become unprofitable and the hovercrafts were getting
old.
